The inception phase of Training for Real in Uganda
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Brian Reed, Sue Coates, Victor Male, Albert RugumayoDelivering water and sanitation services requires the inputs of many resources; natural, social, political, financial, physical
and human. The human resource needs to be of the correct quantity (sufficient staff) and the right quality (qualified and
motivated). Capacity building aims to improve the quality of the human resource, but this can be piecemeal, uncoordinated
and unsustainable. A sector wide scoping study was made into capacity building needs in Uganda, to see why established
training providers were not supplying the industry with the correct quality of staff. The results of the study however highlighted
the problems faced by employers in articulating their demands concerning adequately trained and motivated staff.
This study formed the inception stage of the Training for Real Project (Uganda).
